for humanities students

We are thrilled to announce that the College of Arts & Sciences has received a $5 million grant from Mellon Foundation to launch a paid internship program for UNCG humanities students.

Over five years, more than 650 humanities majors at UNCG will have the opportunity to participate in a guided, paid internship program with local nonprofits. At the same time, these students will take courses in how to translate their humanities education into fulfilling careers.
